YES CHEF

“Yes Chef” The landscape of modern kitchen environments adheres to a structural kinship similar to the chain of command employed by branches of the military. Here, cooks are the soldiers, donning double-breasted coats, aprons and slip-resistant clogs instead of camouflage, helmets and ammunition belts. And, like the military, employees have developed their own jargon to effectively communicate and operate as one cohesive unit. Communication is of the utmost importance when working in a kitchen, and over time cooks developed a type of linguistic shorthand. Just as the modern kitchen has evolved, so has the language. Cooks rely on one another to complete orders as expeditiously as possible, while maintaining a level of collectedness that rivals most other team-driven jobs. In case you’re thinking about a future career in the culinary arts, or if you just can’t decipher what it is every cook is constantly yelling about, you’d be wise to equip yourself with these kitchen colloquialisms. “Yes, chef!”– Should be the first and last words emitted from your voice box when addressing the chef. It is a statement of acknowledgment to your superior, never a question.
